So there's 7 possible options to replace Battle

Schoenmaker, Cordy, Caminiti, Tauru, Barrat, Keeler or Sharman.
Click to expand...

Cordy a gap filler on 1 year contracts I think he'll end up closer to TC (VFL and in case of emergency type)

Camma and Sharman in the end I think there might only be one spot up forward for them (if everyone else comes on).

Schoey and Keeler the two unknowns - dripping with potential but a long way from being consistent AFL players. If they both come on look out... But history would suggest only one of them makes it.

Tauru and Barrett way too early. Fingers crossed but if Tauru gets a clean run with injuries you'd hope his floor is a Josh Battle like career (very good). But potential is a lot higher IMO. Considererd the best tall in what's already being called a super draft.

Can we fit them all in 5 years from now? Would be a nice problem...

If we are serious about winning early games, I'd be looking at Cordy as the starting option for a few weeks.

After that I think Barrat might be the one that surprise's us and steps up to fill the Battle role.

Well the obvious has occurred the HS is running the Saints have signed Harry Boyd as an SSP. For me that is mitigated with the knowledge that we grabbed the best young ruckman (Dodson) in this years draft. When we started looking at Boyd I was concerned we would select him and over look others and not address our future rucking needs. As it has turned out we now have the best of both, a ready made hole filler and a kid who Dave Misson has said is a lot more advanced than we might think.

So yes my intitial reaction to Boyd was a bit 'chicken little', but I wanted the club to top up with as much young talent from this draft as possible and the club have over acheived in that regard. The adding of Boyd should put a rocket up Max Heath, as its time he took a big step or get pushed aside.

Adding Boyd and Dodson is a magnificent move to get the best out of Moose, weather he makes it or not.
From the snippets he wasn't far off Boyd in ruck contests either
 
Found this pearler of a quote from Collingwood CEO Craig Kelly.

What the hell is wrong with everyone? lol.

Kelly's quote is literally exactly what Bassat said.

“No, (I don’t align with St Kilda’s views on father-son), it's just crazy at the end of the day we should have father-sons.
“I had this argument at lunch with a few of the guys the other day who are quite heavy hitters in the AFL and they were saying it's not fair.
“But the reality is if someone wants Tom (McGuane) at an earlier pick than what we're prepared to give them, they should be able to get him.
“It’s got to be fair value, market value, and that's what we're putting in place now with the new system.
“But it's one of the great things of our game when our fathers and daughters playing at the clubs their parents did.”

Clearly the use of the word align is from the journo - based on that rambling twaddle I'm not sure Kelly could even spell the word.

Anyone have specific quotes from Bass? Most of what I have read in the media seems to be opinion “Saints whack” type of thing …
 
In case anyone hasn't seen
